What are the Hidden Quantum Processes In Einstein's Weak Principle of Equivalence?

We provide a quantum derivation of Einstein's Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) of general relativity using a new quantum gravity theory proposed by the authors called Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity or EMQG (ref. 1). Newtonian Inertia is a property of matter due to the strictly local electrical force interactions contributed by each of the (electrically charged) elementary particles of the mass with the surrounding (electrically charged) virtual particles (virtual masseons) of the quantum vacuum. The sum of all the tiny electrical forces (photon exchanges with the vacuum particles) originating in each charged elementary particle of the accelerated mass is the source of the total inertial force of a mass which opposes accelerated motion in Newton's law 'F = MA'. We found that gravity also involves the same 'inertial' electromagnetic force component that exists in inertial mass. We propose that Einstein's general relativistic Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) originates from common 'lower level' quantum vacuum processes occurring in both inertial mass and gravitational mass, in accordance with the principles of quantum field theory. Gravitational mass results from the quantum activities of both the electrical force (photon exchanges) component and the pure gravitational force (graviton exchanges) component, acting simultaneously on the elementary particles that make up a mass.

The Light Velocity Casimir Effect - Does the Velocity of Light Increase when Propagating Between the Casimir Plates?

We propose experiments that might be set up to detect the increase in the velocity of light in a vacuum in the laboratory frame for photons travelling between (and perpendicular to) the Casimir plates in a vacuum. The Casimir plates are two closely spaced, conductive plates, where an attractive force is observed to exist between the plates called the 'Casimir Force'. We propose that the velocity of light in a vacuum increases when propagating between two transparent Casimir Plates. We call this effect the 'Light Velocity Casimir Effect' or LVC effect. The LVC effect happens because the vacuum energy density in between the plates is lower than that outside the Casimir plates. The conductive plates disallow certain frequencies of electrically charged virtual particles to exist inside the plates, thus lowering the inside vacuum particle density, compared to the density outside the plates. The reduced (electrically charged) virtual particle density results in fewer photon scattering events inside the plates, which should increase the light velocity between the plates in a vacuum relative to the normal vacuum light speed. A similar effect, involving light velocity change, occurs when light travels through two different real material densities; for example when light propagates from water to air, a process known as optical refraction.

Cellular Automata Theory and Physics: A new Paradigm for the Unification of Physics

A new paradigm for the unification of physics is described. It is called Cellular Automata (CA) theory, which is the most massively parallel computer model currently known to science. We maintain that at the tiniest distance and time scales the universe is completely deterministic, and utterly simple. Our universe is a Cellular Automaton consisting of a huge array of cells capable of storing numeric information. These cells form a vast, 3D 'geometric' CA, where each cell has 26 surrounding neighboring cells that influence the state of a given cell. CA theory directly implies that all the laws of physics must result from interactions that are strictly local, therefore forbidding any form of action at a distance. CA theory suggests that space, time, matter, energy, and motion are all the same thing: the end result of information changing state in the CA. The CA model automatically contains an inherent maximum speed limit for which information can be moved from place to place.We propose that light (photon) motion is the fixed, simple shifting of a photon information pattern from cell to adjacent cell at every 'clock cycle'. Thus photons 'travel' only at one fixed speed, which is unaffected by any possible source motion. By adopting absolute CA space and time coordinates for the description of a pair of observers in inertial reference frames with a relative velocity 'v', then the Lorentz transformation follows mathematically. We explore the ramifications of this CA model for all of physics.

What are the Hidden Quantum Processes Behind Newton's Laws?

We investigate the hidden quantum processes that are responsible for Newton's laws of motion and Newton's universal law of gravity. We apply Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity or EMQG to investigate Newtonian classical physics. EQMG is a quantum gravity theory that is manifestly compatible with Cellular Automata (CA) theory, a new paradigm for physical reality. EMQG is also based on a theory of inertia proposed by R. Haisch, A. Rueda, and H. Puthoff, which we modified and called Quantum Inertia (QI). Quantum Inertia theory states that in Newton's 2nd law of motion (F=MA), inertia is caused by the strictly local electrical force interactions bewteen matter (ultimately composed of electrically charged quantum particles) and the surrounding electrically charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum. When an electrically charged particle is accelerated, an electrical force results between the particle and the surrounding electrically charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum appears in a direction to oppose the acceleration. The sum of all the tiny electrical forces originating between each charged particle and the surrounding quantum vacuum, is the source of the total inertial force of a mass which opposes accelerated motion in Newton's F = MA. Quantum Inertia theory resolves the problems and paradoxes of accelerated motion introduced in Mach's principle by suggesting that the state of acceleration of the charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum with respect to a mass, serves the function of Newton's absolute space for accelerated masses only.

The Problem of the Cosmological Constant

ElectroMagnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG) is applied to the problem of the Cosmological Constant. EMQG is a quantum gravity theory (ref. 1) in which the virtual particles of the quantum vacuum play a very important role in all gravitational interactions, and also in accelerated motion. According to EMQG theory (and quantum field theory in general), empty space is populated by vast numbers of virtual particles, consisting of virtual fermion and virtual anti-fermion particles, which posses mass, and also virtual boson particles of all the various force particle species. Therefore the problem of the cosmological constant is essentially equivalent to a determination of the mass contributed by all the virtual particles of the vacuum to the overall curvature and dynamics of the entire universe. Our original analysis was based on the assumption of perfect symmetry in the creation and destruction of virtual fermion and virtual anti-fermion particle pairs in the quantum vacuum, which is in accordance with the existing laws of conservation of both electric charge, and also of the new law of conservation of gravitational 'mass charge'. We now believe that this may not be necessarily true, and that EMQG can allow the possibility of a very tiny value for the cosmological constant. Furthermore, it turns out that this question can only be resolved when a solution to the problem of baryon asymmetry in the universe is resolved. In other words an answer must be found as to why our universe seems to contain only real matter, and very little, if any anti-matter.

A Simple Physical Interpretation of the Lense-Thirring Effect Based on Emqg Theory

We use ElectroMagnetic Quantum Gravity (EMQG) to provide a simple physical model of the Lense-Thirring effect on the earth. The Lense-Thirring effect is a tiny perturbation of the motion of a free-falling particle near a massive rotating object, first calculated by the physicists J. Lense and H. Thirring in 1918 using general relativity. The Lense-Thirring effect can also be thought of as the 'dragging of inertial frames', as first named by Einstein himself. The amount of frame dragging varies with height above the spinning earth. Einstein's general relativity predicts the value of this effect near the earth, but the effect has not yet been accurately verified experimentally. However, recent work using the LAGEOS series, earth orbiting satellites has rendered an unconfirmed experimental value that agrees with theory to an accuracy of about 20 %. Our physical model is based on the disturbance of the electrically charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum in a state of free-fall near a massive spinning object. We calculate the Lense-Thirring effect on the earth's surface using this model that is in good agreement with the value derived from general relativity.

Quantum Field Theoretic Derivation of the Einstein Weak Equivalence Principle Using Emqg Theory

We provide a quantum field theoretic derivation of Einstein's Weak Equivalence Principle of general relativity using a new quantum gravity theory proposed by the authors called Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity or EMQG (ref. 1). EMQG is based on a new theory of inertia (ref. 5) proposed by R. Haisch, A. Rueda, and H. Puthoff (which we modified and called Quantum Inertia). Quantum Inertia states that classical Newtonian Inertia is a property of matter due to the strictly local electrical force interactions of each of the (electrically charged) elementary particles of the mass (masseon particles) with the surrounding (electrically charged) virtual particles (virtual masseons) of the quantum vacuum. The sum of all the tiny electrical forces (photon exchanges with the vacuum particles) that originate in each charged elementary particle of the accelerated mass is the source of the total inertial force of a mass which opposes accelerated motion in Newton's law 'F = MA'. We invoked Einstein's principle of equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass to understand the origin of gravitational mass from the perspective of quantum inertia. We found that gravity also involves the same 'inertial' electrical force component that exists in inertial mass. We propose that Einstein's general relativistic Weak Equivalence Principle originates from common 'lower level' quantum vacuum processes occurring in both gravitational mass and inertial mass in accordance with the principles of quantum field theory.

A Brief Summary of Electromagnetic Quantum Gravity

We briefly review the current status of a new quantum gravity theory called Electro-Magnetic Quantum Gravity. EMQG is manifestly compatible with Cellular Automata (CA) theory, and is based on a new theory of inertia proposed by R. Haisch, A. Rueda, and H. Puthoff. Newtonian Inertia is due to the strictly local, electrical force interactions of matter particles (consisting of real electrically charged fermions) with the surrounding, electrically charged, virtual fermion particles of the quantum vacuum. The force originates from each charged fermion particle of the mass undergoing relative acceleration with the the quantum vacuum particles. The sum of all these tiny electrical forces originating from each electrically charged particle in the mass is the source of the total inertial force of a mass, which is the force that opposes accelerated motion in Newton's famous inertia law 'F = MA'. Gravity also involves the same 'inertial' electrical force component that exists for inertial mass described above. The Weak Equivalence Principle turns out to be a physical phenomenon, originating from common 'lower level' quantum processes in both gravitational and inertial mass. The magnitude of the gravitational mass of a test mass on the earth results from the same quantity of electrical force interactions as in inertia, but on the earth it is the virtual fermions of the quantum vacuum that are actually accelerating downward (on a statistical average basis) with respect to the test mass.

Special Relativity Theory and Cellular Automata: Light as a Cellular Automata Process

A new formulation of special relativity is described. It is based on a postulate that the universe is a vast Cellular Automata (CA). We show that any CA model automatically leads to a maximum speed limit for the transfer of information from place to place in CA space, and hence leads to strict physical locality of all physical interactions. Furthermore, we show that the Lorentz transformation follows mathematically from CA theory, where photon propagation is postulated to be the simply shifting of the photon information pattern from cell to adjacent cell in every CA 'clock cycle' (which incidently is simplest possible CA 'motion'). Minkowski 4D flat space-time of special relativity can be seen as the direct consequence of the low level universal CA processes, seen by inertial observers with ordinary measuring instruments, and who are not aware of, and cannot measure with the true absolute units of CA space and time.

Does the Quantum Vacuum Fall Near the Earth? The Downward Acceleration of the Quantum Vacuum is Responsible for the Equivalence Principle

The downward acceleration of the virtual electrically charged fermion particles of the quantum vacuum is responsible for the Einstein Weak Equivalence Principle and for our perception of 4D space-time curvature near the earth. Since the virtual fermion particles of the quantum vacuum (virtual electrons for example) possess mass, we assume that during their short lifetimes the virtual fermions are in a state of downward acceleration (or free-fall) near the earth. Many of the virtual fermions also possess electrical charge, and are thus capable of interacting electrically with a real test mass, since a test mass is composed of real, electrically charged, fermion particles. The electrical interaction between the downward accelerated virtual fermions with nearby light or matter is responsible for the equivalence of inertial and gravitational mass, and also responsible for our perception of 4D space-time curvature near the earth. In pure accelerated frames the apparent acceleration of the virtual particles of the quantum vacuum is caused by the actual accelerated motion of a test mass. An opposition to acceleration is felt by the mass that is proportional to the magnitude of the mass, according to F=MA. This process is responsible for inertia, and the exact reverse process is responsible for the magnitude of the gravitational mass. This is why inertial and gravitational mass are equal.

Electromagnetic Quantum Gravity: On the Quantum Principle of Equivalence, Quantum Inertia, and the Meaning of Mass

A new approach to Quantum Gravity is proposed that is manifestly compatible with Cellular Automata (CA) theory, and is based on a new quantum theory of inertia where Newtonian Inertia results from the electromagnetic forces between the (electrically) charged elementary particles of an accelerated mass and the surrounding (electrically) charged virtual particles of the quantum vacuum. At the Plank scale, there exists a quantized, absolute 3D space and separate (quantized) time which is not affected by motion or gravity. Light is the simple shifting of a photon information pattern from cell to adjacent cell at every CA 'clock cycle'. The Lorentz transformation is derived from our simple model of light motion. Inertial mass is revised to acknowledge the absolute nature of mass and acceleration. The same electromagnetic quantum vacuum forces are also present in masses inside a gravitational field, where now the quantum vacuum is accelerated with respect to the mass by graviton exchanges. This process is responsible for the equivalence principle (WEP), which is derived in detail. Gravity is found to be based on two boson force exchange particles: the graviton and the photon, and both particles are postulated to be almost identical in physical characteristics. 4D space-time curvature is found to result from a 'Fizeau-like' scattering process, where the accelerated (electrically charged) virtual particles of the quantum vacuum act like a special 'Fizeau fluid'. Light scatters with the electrically charged and accelerated 'Fizeau fluid', resulting in curved paths. Four experimental tests of EMQG are proposed.
